Hunnicut is a sweet but scared rat terrier mix who comes to the rescue from Hesperia Animal Control where he was found as a stray and brought to the shelter by a citizen.

Click Here to Sponsor Me! Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet. Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process Meet Little Boy! This sweet 4-year-old, 15 lb pup has been through a lot but hasn’t lost his loving spirit. He came to us after being hit by a car and left at a shelter with a broken leg. Now fully healed and feeling great, he’s ready to find his forever home! Little Boy is affectionate, playful, and a big fan of both people and other dogs he's properly introduced to. He clearly knew love before and is extremely affectionate with humans. He knows how to use a doggy door trained and he also understands basic commands like “lie down” and even picks up on phrases like “time to go to bed”—he’s smart like that! Like many rescues, he’s still working on a few things. He can be a bit of a food thief if snacks are left within reach and is working on his manners when on a leash when meeting new dog friends. However, with consistency and setting clear expectations, he’s happy to play and gets along well with confident, dog-savvy companions. With time, he will make a great dog sibling (like in his current foster home) Little Boy would do best in a secure home (he can be a bit of a Houdini!) so a home without a yard or if you have a yard, minimum 5ft fence. He may try to slip past you at the door and is quite skilled at wiggling out of a harness, so a slip lead setup and vigilance during transitions will be key. In return, he promises loyalty, entertainment, and lots of love. Apply to meet Little boy at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.htmlSeptember 12, 2025, 11:57 am

Anaheim, CA

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I rescued Wednesday from the San Bernardino shelter in October, and she has blossomed into the sweetest little shadow. She is a 9lb, 3-5 year old cuddle bug who believes blankets are life and loves playing fetch with her stuffed She is a pocket-sized companion who knows basic tricks, walks beautifully on a leash, and absolutely lives for attention. If you want a dog who looks at you like you're the sun, this is her. Wednesday has a very high prey drive when it comes to cats. She fixates on my resident cat constantly, and despite our best efforts, she simply cannot share a home with felines. She needs a home where she doesn't have to worry about hunting the kitty. Her ideal match: - Strictly a feline-free zone. - She hasn't been around kids, but a calm home would likely suit her best. - She is about 90% potty-trained to go in the backyard. - Spayed, chipped, and all shots up to date.

Story

Eve, Female, 7 years old, black and tan, Manchester and Min pin mix, Shelter Survivor. Eve busted out of jail (the shelter) and is now looking for her forever home! She starts off skittish and scared but will warm up and play...especially with other dogs (she is shown in photo #3 with her buddy "Manny". She is crate and potty trained as well! Eve will require someone that has an enormous amount of patience... it takes a long time for her to come over for petting. She won't bite, but she is just afraid of people. She LOVE LOVE LOVES dogs. We have not cat tested Eve, however, we have seen her around a very small fluffy chihuahua and she seemed a little too interested in wanting to chase her. We do think she has prey drive and we think she may chase cats and bunnies. To be clear... Eve is she is great with dogs but very shy/scared of new people. She takes a while to warm up to you for you to touch her. She doesn’t bite. She is actually very sweet once she trusts you. However, if she does get scared she will try to “run” so you have to be aware that her response to fear is to run. She needs a secure house and yard for this reason. She is still a work in progress and will need a dedicated and experienced dog person to give her the chance she deserves. She is sweet, beautiful and an all around pleasant girl. Eve's ideal home is one with patient, predictable, calm humans and a secure YARD. Perhaps a good doggie to mirror and learn the ropes at your home. If you are interested in Eve, Please fill out OUR adoption application, we do not accept Adopt-a-Pet applications. Our application is located on our website www.k9spirit.org
